I mean, he's what, 32, 33? And he's still trying to act like a student.

"Look, i'm in my flat, there's lots of people, in my flat, with me, in me flat. We're all crazy, y'know in my flat. Me, working from home in my flat, just how crazy can I be? Oh my God, there's cameras in my flat, so you can watch me, in my flat! I can eat cornflakes and everything. In my flat. Imagine it!"

I seem to remember Aled making a huge announcement to get every Chris Moyles listener on board to watch a live stream from the studio. I wouldn't say the whole 'act' is exclusive to Scott Mills. And at least this differs from that.

It's a youth station anyway. You're supposed to be in touch with your target audience. If you want men talking at you like they're over 30 then maybe Radio 2 is the right station for you?

The bit in bold I agree with completely, and all daytime DJs (Whiley, Cox, Bowman, Moyles, Cotton.. etc) are all guilty of it, and I know they have to aim for their target audience, which largely are students who adore the concept of "look what i'm doing, give me a medal!".

But hey, I don't listen to Radio 1 all that often, just 10 minutes while walking to work, depending on whether or not I can actually get a signal.

First of all, 30's is not old. I think it's great that he's able to communicate with people much younger than himself, as well as older listeners.

I'm sure he'll know, (the same as Spoony and others), when it's time to move on, or time to change his Show.

I was reading an article on the Internet about Sara Cox (which is kind of similar to what you are saying). It was an article about Sara and her "ladette" days, and how she has now cleverly repackaged herself as a "mum-type" figure. Scott, I am sure, is a smart enough guy to be able to anticipate the need for any changes, without anyone dictating when exactly that time should be.

Scott's style is quite childish, but that doesn't mean that he is in any way sad!

Would you criticise every children's TV presenter for acting young? He is just appealing to the target audience- I am sure he could be mature and dull if he wanted to, but I wouldn't find that very entertaining!

Also, fly on the wall TV shows have been around for years- Scott Cam isn't that radical and idea!

so he's just having a bit of fun. It's not like its being done like big brother, i mean nobody is making any money out of it (other than voiceover man doing the trails - but most people will agree there shoud be more V.O.M anyway)

Lets face it, a lot of the things he gets behind are a being done in a tongue in cheek way, I mean who really thought Wing was actually any good :P

At the end of the day the listeners get a show which has a more interactive twist than usual, and everybody involved with the show gets a differnt challenge and scenery. Everyone a winner in my eyes.

If you don't like it I suggest you go and listen to commercial radio, whatever that is ;)

Not impressed with censorship

Best post. Completely agree. :)

Just an added point, Scott's one of the top DJ's, and you simply don't get to that point by having a crap formula to a Show.

Scott didn't get the Loaded LAFTA award for no reason. He gives us just what we expect - entertainment. And he's a nice guy on top of it, which is unusual these days ;) Scott Cam was a rather interesting and unexpected idea but it was a lot of fun for everyone. I wouldn't say his shows are childish - at least not in a negative way. You have to admit they are rather unique and he is definitely trying very hard.

On a different note, who goes onto a fansite to criticise the person it is devoted to? Clearly looking for an argument, no?

      Summer on Radio 1

      By ianwilk1999 · Posted

      Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      But they said the main changes would happen in July.

      I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders
